How to make a get_data request with a custom list of more than 100 tickers?

raphael.dangelo

Hello, I created a list of actions with their datastream identifiers which I call here 'merge_universe' and would like to make a group request like: universe_merge_data=(ds.get_data(universe_merge,['CODOC',],last_year).

However, when my list is longer than approy 50 tickers, the request fail.

I would like to do avoid iteration as it takes too much time to run.

Have you any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Hi @raphael.dangelo ,

I wrote an answer for Datastream. You can find it here.
Do let me know if you were refering to another API of ours, but you can use the same logic for other APIs.

Thanks for your answer Jonathan.

Yes my question was for datastream.

So I guess it is not possible to make it without for-loop at all?
